In this story, a heavy rain coaxes an abundance of night crawlers out of the ground and yields a bucketful of potential worm sales for this young lady and her brothers. The only problem was the fact that they choose to take the car without permission to deliver the worms to the bait stand. Needless to say, their parents were both distraught and disappointed when the intrepid night crawler salesmen return home. This account sparked worm hunting memories of my own which I shared in a post yesterday.

Beautiful piece, Greg! I really admire the narrative quality of your work --- story and mood always come across so clearly.BTW - Thanks for all the great posts on your blog. You're giving James Gurney a real run for his money!

Wow. Fabulous illustration. I really really like the whole thing, but especially the way her fingers are pulling on the worm so gingerly.....like yes, she's doing this, but no, she doesn't really like to touch them.....

Wow, I love the perceptive on this illustration. This must have taken hours to do. you have blades of grass, the meltng of the snow, and carefully thought out higlights on her face. I thought I was detail in my drawings, but I could learn alot from you!

The Story So Far

I have been making art for as long as I can remember. These days I work in acrylic paint or Photoshop when creating illustrations for magazines, children's book publishers and advertising clients. I have even been given some cool awards for it. Lately, I am loving oil painting out of doors and for galleries.
